We need enough people to agree on both a vehicle and a direction.

  • There are a lot of people dissatisfied with the current government(s) but don't agree how to create change; be it through the current system, major modifications to the current system, or even more severe changes.

  • There are a lot of people who don't want wide spread poverty/suffering, but don't agree on how that problem should be dealt with; be it through universal income, massive public projects, or wealth taxation and better competition regulations.

IMO we need a new digital/decentralized/open-source/transparent 'social media platform' that can replace the current easily manipulated electoral systems.

We need ideas & policies to be independently actionable from the partisan politics that afaic specifically exist to mitigate change and maintain the influence of money in policy.

I got a cat at 18 for the same reason I don't want kids lmao. I like kids. I also like dogs. But I like leaving the house for more than 8 hours more and for that you need a cat.

Yup. They just got their satire lessons from the same place as Babylon Bee.

Its worth noting that they had completed "15 to 20 contracts previously" and that they had negotiated previous contracts via text message. This process became the norm during the pandemic.

In other words it's within this context that made it agreement... not that thumbs ups can universally be used to agree to contracts.

Glad to see the reddit tradition of just commenting without reading any of the source material is going strong /s

But for real my dude. You got a problem with chemicals in your meat? How bout those crazy steroids and antibiotics they pump your chickens/cows full of so that they don't die of disease before maturation/slaughter? What about all the chemicals in the low quality feed they give the animals? Or the processing to increase shelf life?

The beauty of this technology is that it avoids all those problems as well as their chemical solutions. It uses mitosis, aka the same naturally occurring process all cells use, to grow meat in an isolated environment that disease cannot thrive. Meanwhile we can use genetic modification to improve the quality of the protein. The end result will be healthier, more sustainable and have a significantly longer shelf life.

And this technology is only going to improve.

French Revolution: May 5, 1789 – Nov 9, 1799

Invention of 'Internet': 1969

Turning off the internet/social-media will only throw ~~gas on the fire~~ grease on the guillotine me thinks.

Than there's the element of sites going down. Redundant conversations serve as a form of backup.

After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I'm honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology.

They can have reddit/facebook/twitter. AFAIC the only way to reach some of these people is to leave them alone long enough to realize on their own.

Lemmy.world admins are doing an amazing job dealing with everything. Their recent decision to defederate from exploding heads (or whatever its called) really goes to show that they're in it for the right reasons.

What's even more annoying than google populating half the first page with ads is that the links don't even work half the time these days.

It must be jarring leaving their bot/troll protected safe spaces of twitter/reddit and interacting with sane normal people.
